Sanders doesn’t regret calling his rival Hillary Clinton “unqualified” — because she started it.

Sanders sounds like a 3rdgrader in the school yard--"she started it"!!--not willing to take responsibility and admit he made a mistake--he and his camp took a false headline from the Wash Post and ran with lie--and did not apologize. I despise that man more and more each day

Bernie Sanders doesn’t regret calling his rival Hillary Clinton “unqualified” — because she started it.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/bernie-sanders-defends-calling-hillary-clinton-unqualified-article-1.2593177

The Vermont senator defended his comment Thursday on “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”

“It was said after she and her campaign said that I was unqualified,” he said. “If people attack me and distort my record, we’re going to respond.”

TRANSCRIPT: BERNIE SANDERS MEETS WITH NEWS EDITORIAL BOARD

Meyers pointed out that Clinton never called Sanders “unqualified” — rather, during an interview on “Morning Joe” she refused to answer a question about the senator’s resume, neither calling him qualified or unqualified.

Still, Sanders stuck to his stance and insisted Clinton is feeling “nervous” after he took six out of the last seven primaries and caucuses..................

I doubt camp Hillary is nervous. I think he made this juvenile misstep because HE and HIS camp is nervous. The rest of the states favor Hillary - he can't possibly overtake her. Regardless of the fantasyland his supporters live in, math matters.

Demonizing her gets a better response than going after Trump and Cruz. He started it but will never admit it because Bernard never accepts responsibility.

That Philly rally was creepy.

The problem is that he fell victim to media lies that claimed Clinton had called him unqualified.

Once again the Sanders team shows its not ready for prime time if they can be so easily manipulated by the media.
